Bug Description
Meerkat netbook beta.
You can launch applications in many ways in Unity (Ubuntu menu, task bar, applications menu).
The common problem for all methods is that they lack feedback. After a click you do not know whether the application is loading or not (or silenty crashed during start). This is problematic if the application allows many instances to launch: the user keeps clicking the app icon and the application will be launched many times.
After the application has loaded, it suddenly jumps on your eyes - hopefully there would be at least some sort of window effect.

We should at a minimum put a placeholder icon in the Launcher when we
get a startup notification.
